Max Branning got a blast from his past in EastEnders when he headed back to prison to visit his former cellmate and it turned out that he is the origin of the dastardly plan to get revenge on the community of Walford.

Earlier in the episode, Max had been visited by the corrupt Chairman of property company Weyland & Co and he had been handed a visiting order which sent Max back to where he was wrongly incarcerated for the murder of Lucy Beale.

Here he was reunited with his cellmate and it transpired that they had concocted their plan that Max is now acting out while jailed together. And Max’s mate wants to speed things up, something which Max seems prepared to do.

Max checked with him that he was sure about stepping things up a gear and then made it clear that he was ready, saying that he is capable of anything, especially when it comes to people who thought he could murder a young girl.

But just what is it that they are concocting – and who will be the first to feel the force of it?
